For several years, we’ve presented pieces commissioned by the best modern composers for our talented musicians, continuing the BPO’s tradition of contributing to classical music’s future. In 1946, the BPO made the premiere recording of the Shostakovich Leningrad Symphony. Music director Lukas Foss was also a renowned composer who regularly programmed world premieres of the works of himself and his contemporaries. Michael Photo: Dylan Buyskes, Onion Studio, Inc. Tilson Thomas led the orchestra in a recording of the complete works of modern composer Carl Ruggles. JoAnn Falletta and the orchestra have brought this tradition into the present day, performing many world and American premieres and earning multiple ASCAP awards for adventurous programming. With the “Built For Buffalo” CD, three of the works commissioned for our musicians will gain a broader audience. The disc includes Daron Hagen’s Songbook For Violin and Orchestra, with former BPO concertmaster Michael Ludwig as the soloist; Eric Ewazen’s Triple Trombone Concerto, featuring the BPO’s trombone section; and Miguel del Aguila’s Concierto en Tango, featuring Principal Cellist Roman Mekinulov. These works each break new ground, with an eye to the past, and listeners have found much to like in them. From the grain elevators to the Trico factory to the medical campus and the planned SolarCity factory, Buffalo was built on innovation. That spirit infuses your BPO. We thank you for your wholehearted support of the new music we present, and look forward to continuing the journey with you. Sincerely, Louis P. Ciminelli Chair, Buffalo Philharmonic Society Inc. 10 BUFFALO PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA BUFFALO PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA SOCIETY, INC. | Board of Trustees OFFICERS Louis P.

Ciminelli Chair Jeremy Briggs Beck Michael Munschauer Todd M. Scherrer Treasurer Mark T. Branden Bob Skerker D. Charles Roberts, Jr. Secretary 11 JOANN FALLETTA, MUSIC DIRECTOR Angelo and Carol Fatta Endowed Chair JoAnn Falletta is internationally celebrated as a vibrant ambassador for music, an inspiring artistic leader, and a champion of American symphonic music. An effervescent and exuberant figure on the podium, she has been praised by The Washington Post as having “Toscanini’s tight control over ensemble, Walter’s affectionate balancing of inner voices, Stokowski’s gutsy showmanship, and a controlled frenzy worthy of Bernstein.” Acclaimed by The New York Times as “one of the finest conductors of her generation”, she serves as the Music Director of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Virginia Symphony Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor of the Brevard Music Center. Ms. Falletta is invited to guest conduct many of the world’s finest symphony orchestras. Her upcoming guest conducting highlights include debuts in Belgrade (Serbia), Shenzhen China, Sweden, and a European tour with the Stuttgart Orchestra. Recent appearances include return engagements with the Warsaw, Detroit, Phoenix, Krakow, Puerto Rico and Hawaii Symphony Orchestras and debuts with the Gothenburg Symphony, Stuttgart Philharmonic, Belgrade Philharmonic, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Carnegie Hall, and a 13 city US tour with the Irish Chamber Orchestra and soloist James Galway. Falletta is the recipient of many of the most prestigious conducting awards including the Seaver/ National Endowment for the Arts Conductors Award, the coveted Stokowski Competition, and the Toscanini, Ditson and Bruno Walter Awards for conducting, as well as the American Symphony Orchestra League’s prestigious John S. Edwards Award. She is an ardent champion of music of our time, introducing over 500 works by American composers, including more than 110 world premieres. Hailing her as a “leading force for the music of our time”, she has been honored with twelve ASCAP awards. Ms. Falletta serves as a Member of the National Council on the Arts. Under her direction, the Buffalo Philharmonic is continuing its trajectory as one of the most recorded orchestras in America. During the 2013 – 14 season, Naxos released four new BPO CDs, Gliere’s Symphony No. 3, Tyberg’s Symphony No. 2, Duke Ellington’s Black, Brown, and Beige, and Gershwin’s Concerto in F, Rhapsody in Blue, Strike up the Band and Promenade. In 2014-15, Naxos plans to release two new BPO discs of the music of Bela Bartók and Florent Schmitt. The BPO released “Nordic Masters” and “Built for Buffalo” on its own Beau Fleuve label. Performance highlights include Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle with Dale Chihuly glass installations, a Charles Ives multimedia concert/ exploration, a fully staged Moliere Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme with the Irish Classical Theatre and Rachmaninoff and Beethoven Festivals. Since stepping up to the podium as Music Director of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra in the fall of 1999, Maestro Falletta has been credited with bringing the Philharmonic to a new level of national and international prominence. Under her direction, the Buffalo Philharmonic has become one of the leading orchestras for the Naxos label, earning a double Grammy Award in 2009 for their recording with soprano Hila Plitmann of John Corigliano’s “Mr. Tambourine Man,” and six Grammy nominations. This season, the BPO will once again be featured on national broadcasts of NPR’s Performance Today and SymphonyCast, and international broadcasts through the European Broadcasting Union. In addition to her current posts with the Buffalo Philharmonic, the Virginia Symphony and the Brevard Music Center, Ms. Falletta has held the positions of artistic advisor to the Honolulu Symphony, music director of the Long Beach Symphony Orchestra, associate conductor of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Principal Guest Conductor of the Phoenix Symphony, and music director of the Denver Chamber Orchestra, the Queens Philharmonic and the Women’s Philharmonic. From 2011 – 2014 she served as Principal Conductor of the Ulster Orchestra in Northern Ireland where she made her debut at London’s prestigious Proms with the orchestra in 2011 and also has made five recordings for Naxos including music of Gustav Holst, Irish composer Ernest John Moeran and American composer John Knowles Paine. Ms. Falletta received her undergraduate degree from the Mannes College of Music in New York and her master’s and doctorate degrees from The Juilliard School. 12 BUFFALO PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA STEFAN SANDERS, ASSOCIATE CONDUCTOR Montante Family Endowed Chair Stefan Sanders is an imaginative conductor, devoted educator and ardent champion of many types of music. He has collaborated with an array of distinguished artists such as violinist Gil Shaham, Fred Childs from public radio’s Performance Today, country sensation The Texas Tenors and the esteemed Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano, to name a few. Guest conducting engagements in the U.S and abroad include the San Antonio Symphony, Naples Philharmonic, Austin Symphony Orchestra, Symphoria (Syracuse, NY), Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic (CZ), Austin Lyric Opera, Corpus Christi Opera and the Round Top International Festival Institute. Past positions have included Music Director and Conductor for the Round Rock Symphony (TX) where he attracted much praise for innovative programming, new venues and collaborations with local arts organizations, attracting broader audiences and redefining the orchestra’s role in its community, Assistant Conductor for

    ROCKEFELLER ARCHIVE CENTER RESEARCH REPORTS The Music and Performing Arts Programs of the Rockefeller Foundation by Michael Uy Harvard University © 2021 by Michael Uy Abstract The Rockefeller Foundation had originally left out much grantmaking to the arts during the first decades of its operations, instead devoting greater resources to efforts such as the alleviation of global hunger, the expansion of access to public libraries, or the eradication of hookworm. Its support of music prior to the 1950s had totaled less than $200,000 over four decades. After the Second World War, however, it began giving substantial funds to the arts and humanities. The Rockefeller Foundation funded projects in new music, like commissions made by the Louisville Orchestra, operas and ballets at New York’s City Center, and the work of the “creative associates” at the State University of New York at Buffalo. In total, between 1953 and 1976, the Rockefeller Foundation granted more than $40 million ($300 million in 2017) to the field of music alone. 2 RAC RESEARCH REPORTS The Music and Performing Arts Programs of the Rockefeller Foundation In 1976, the Rockefeller Foundation (RF) celebrated the United States Bicentennial with a 100-record collection known as the Recorded Anthology of American Music. The editorial committee of the anthology noted that any attempt to memorialize the music of the United States, including its many different racial and ethnic communities, as well as its vast geographical diversity, would be an impossible task. Thus, the aim for the anthology was to be “comprehensive,” but not “exhaustive.” I take a similar approach with this report.

  • ALAN PARSONS Eye 2 Eye - Live in Madrid (Rock)
    ALAN PARSONS Eye 2 eye - live in madrid (Rock) Année de sortie : 2010 Nombre de pistes : 13 Durée : 68' Support : MP3 Provenance : Reçu du label Formé en 1975 par Alan PARSONS et Eric WOOLFSON, et vite rejoints par de nombreux autres musiciens de renom, les anglais d'ALAN PARSONS PROJECT ont jusqu'en 1990 (et encore maintenant !) "inondé" à satiété les ondes radiophoniques du monde entier avec leurs hits que sont les Eye In The Sky et son prologue Sirius, Don't Answer Me, Psychobabble, I Wouldn't Want To Be like You et autres Games People Play. Après une dizaine d'albums, quelques live plus ou moins "pirates", des compilations best of, l'aventure prend fin et Alan PARSONS continue seul sa carrière sous son nom (je me permets ici de vous renvoyer vers, par exemple, le site internet de BIG BANG et son dossier sur le groupe pour une bibliographie discographique riche et fouillée !). Enregistré en mai 2004 à Madrid en Espagne, Alan PARSONS (claviers, guitare acoustique et chant), ici accompagné de P.J OLSSON (guitare acoustique et chant), G. TOWNSEND (guitares et chant), S. MURPHY (batterie), J. MONTAGNA (basse) et M. FOCARAZZO (claviers), nous offrent un superbe live ou quasiment tous les hits cités ci-dessus du ALAN PARSONS PROJECT s'y trouvent enchaînés. Alan revisite une partie des albums du groupe, de I Robot (1977) à Ammonia Avenue (1984). Et pour les fans quarantenaires qui ont "marché" au son de ses hymnes dans leur jeunesse, ces 13 titres respirent le bonheur et plaquent des retours en arrière chargés d'émotions et de souvenirs pittoresques ! Souvent étiquetée Rock Progressif puis Pop Rock, la musique du groupe est à rapprocher des PINK FLOYD par exemple.
